ZENYASA® TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM
A Comprehensive Program Leading to RYT500 Status with Yoga Alliance 
INTRODUCTION
The Zenyasa® Teacher Training (the “ZTT”) would likely appeal to dedicated yoga students who want to deepen their understanding and appreciation of Zenyasa® Yoga, as well as previously certified teachers from other traditions who want to acquire a more solid foundation in the subject areas taught within the Zenyasa®® teacher training curriculum -- many of which are not offered in other schools of yoga.  Those who complete the entire course of study will be eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT500.  If you are already a registered teacher, certain aspects of the training can be waived depending upon your interests and goals (see Zenyasa® Bridge Program for RYT200s and RYT500s).
A MODULAR APPROACH
The complete program consists of the following five main components:
1.   Teaching Zenyasa Series (108 contact hours): learning to confidently teach a Zenyasa® class to a variety of different populations; includes many opportunities for practice teaching and feedback.  
2.   Anatomy Studies for Yoga Teachers (108 contact hours):  the anatomy curriculum that we offer is one of the highlights of the ZTT, far surpassing the minimum requirements set by Yoga Alliance and raising the bar for yoga teacher education in this subject area (CLICK HERE for more info about the ASFYT program)
3.   Sacred Wisdom Series (54 contact hours): this series consists of three 12-week courses that cover i) an overview of the history and philosophy the yoga tradition, ii) selections from the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and iii) the early teachings of the historical Buddha, as well as some of the later Mahayana Buddhist teachings.

4.   Practice, Observe, Assist & Teach: attend 50 Zenyasa® classes, observe 5 classes, assist in 15 classes, and then teach 5 classes 
5.   Zen Immersion Experiences: attend an “Intro to Zen Training” weekend at Zen Mountain Monastery (in the Catskills), plus four Zen-related workshops or liturgical services at local Zendos
